Social issues/ personality change
1. Family problems
2. Change in behavior/ Angry nature
3. Feeling Lack of happiness
4. Loss of peace
Solutions:
Stress is the status of mind. You need to take mind out of that state. Divert the thought, or even better way is to convert the thought.
1. Convert Dissatisfaction at work to self satisfaction:
ex.You are working more than your coworker without getting recognized.
Here there are two problems:
A. Comparison: Don't compare, instead recognize your good points and use it for everyone's benefit.
B. Need for appreciation: Believe in yourself. If your work is good enough, you will get recognized eventually. Take a break/ vacation.
2. Let things go:
If someone said something to you that you didn't like, stop for a moment. Think about it. Are you really that kind of person, if yes then take it as granted and try to improve. If that was false blame, you can reply back or let it go. Let stuff you don't like go out of your mind. Divert mind to your hobby or things you like.
3. Be flexible:
Flexibility helps reliving stress. Don't be to rigid on thing should be this way or that way.Or other should follow your ways.
Ex. you don't like wet towel to be thrown on bed after bath and you want your husband to hang it in a proper place to dry. Rather than getting angry or saying you never put things in proper place, you place it in right place as soon as he/she throws towel on bed. Do this couple of days, later you can say it would be nice it you help me by hanging this towel to dry.
-Help is a good word to use than saying or forcing someone to do things in your way.
Remember if you like keeping thing certain way, its is your problem, not others.
4. Take Responsibility:
Don't blame others all the time. Remember the saying, when we point one finger at other, the other 4 fingers points at us. Best thing is to look at other's positive points.
5. Decision making:
In time when you have to make important decision about life and you feel stressed;
Take advice from friends and family, write down all positive and negative points about new situation and in the end follow your heart/gut feeling.
6. Unexpected problems:
Believe in God. Give some time for meditation, and spirituality. It makes you calm and focused. Spiritual people are more tolerable to unexpected loss/ problems.
